The Duke of Clarence was last night treated to a wealth of sporting secrets and insights as Cardiff City legends Andy Legg and Jason Perry spoke candidly at a Question-Time style event organised by Cardiff City Supporters' Trust.

I use a bicycle for transport but I am not a 'cyclist'. I use my bike to go from home to work and back, all of 1.5 miles each way.

Now going steady in its fourth year, the wondrous Welsh literary arts festival set in Dylan Thomas county is growing in popularity, but organiser John Williams won't be able to relax before Sunday night. He's busy bringing together the festival in a very last-minute, haphazard way, as has been his method ever since the first year, when he forgot to book a cleaner for Monday morning.

It survived the 80s recession, the road works on St Mary Street, a spangly new shopping centre on its doorstep and the most recent credit crunch. The New York Deli, Cardiff's best loved independent lunch stop, has much to celebrate on its 20th birthday today. Continue reading...
